Unique shapes for designing composite images

ABSTRACT

This invention consists of a set of six unique shapes that can be freely arranged on a two-dimensional surface to create a composite image.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This is a continuation of the U.S. provisional application No. 61/716,565

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a design game consisting of uniquely defined shapes that are used to create composite images.

2. Description of Prior Art

Prior design-forming games consist of geometrically identifiable elements which are arranged in a progressive way to form an abstract image or fixed in preselected locations to form a mosaic art. For example U.S. Pat. No. 4,651,993 consists of modules in the shape of a square progressing from the smallest of the series to the largest of the series according to a definite geometric formula. Another example is U.S. Pat. No. 4,993,984 which consists of a mosaic art kit made of equilateral triangles that are fixed on a board in preselected location.

Neither games provide the freedom of selectively placing the design forming elements at the discretion of the user on a two-dimensional surface to create artistic designs and stimulate the visual thinking without any restriction.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention consists of a set of unique shapes as depicted in the drawings. The plurality of the said shapes can be freely arranged on a two-dimensional surface to create a composite image.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING (IF ANY)

FIG. 1: Front view of the unique shapes

FIG. 2: Back view of the unique shapes

FIG. 3: A plan view illustrating one exemplary arrangement of the unique shapes

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the invention consists of six unique shapes: a spiral 2, a straight bar 6, and four distinct curves 1, 3, 4 and 5. In its tangible form, the six shapes are made of dual sided soft magnet die-cuts and sized proportionately to one another. The plurality of the unique shapes can be selectively placed at the discretion of the user and adhered to a magnet receptive board or any other magnet receptive surface to form a composite image. The FIG. 3 illustrates exemplary arrangement of a plurality of the unique shapes to form composite images. 

What is claimed is: 1- The set of the unique shapes as depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 2- A design game for producing composite images that consist of a plurality of the set of the unique shapes as set forth in claim 1 3- Magnetic board game for producing composite images that consist of a plurality of the set of unique shapes as set forth in claim 1
